New Breakout Drama By Matt Olmstead & Nick Santora

414_JustBusiness-Sc5-6-7_0021.jpgFox has reportedly picked up the pilot for a new television show called ‘Breakout Kings‘.

The drama comes from Prison Break producers Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora and centers on a team of ex-convicts and marshals working together to apprehend criminals who break out from prison.

Say what?!?! This sounds strikingly like a Prison Break Season 5 plotline! Too bad it couldn’t be our same cast.

    If this is gonna be ran like prison Break save yourself a head ache, Prison Break rocked But the dumbazz on and off sometimes weeks at a time was simply BS , losing their audience their was NOTHING stable about the program , youd get so raped up in it and it would be on again for two,three weeks, then it was 6 or 8 weeks, if they can’t put a show on from start to finish week after week then whats the point ?

    I couldn’t agree more with Dragona and Ruby.
    They could have made another season, also changing half of the cast and going to this new plot. I can see Mahone and Lang in some episodes of these storylines. Maybe asking the help of the brothers once in a while.
    But this’s too good, too hard to achieve.

    Well i think the main thing we need to start doing is making FOX aware that we want a Season 5. Therefore am going to congure up a letter and attach a petition – which we can set up on networking sites… (I don’t know how to do that – any offers)? I will write the letter. What do you think? AM i being crazy?

    Otherwise they can make it but I won’t watch it.

    “Say what?!?! This sounds strikingly like a Prison Break Season 5 plotline! Too bad it couldn’t be our same cast.”
    I could approve this TV show but ONLY, and ONLY IF they used THE SAME CAST FROM PRISON BREAK.

    It doesnt matter if the title of the series will be Break Out Kings with same or similar story etc..etc.. All we want, the PB fans to get the characters of PB to this new show with wentworth..same casting..if you consider our request. we are delighted and grateful..praying it will be heard..

  7. By loveit

    pls. just get it done,same cast for this series..we really missed them..writers are intelligent , as far as i know, they can write story that would make the remaining PB cast together again with wentworth of course.

    Michael broke out of 2 prisons also succeed in the break out of Sara and foremost BROKE-IN to get Scylla.

    So the Break-out spin-off would be about other bad guys breaking out or in different places… I believe that Michal abilities could help the country in some way being a cop or special agent or whatever… Since he is also known world-wide since his escape, it might be easier for him to get friends with “bad guys” undercover style…

    It could even be something like this: Some Terrorist got a place in lock-down and Michael would find a way to break in to get to the Terrorist or to breakout the hostages?

    There are many angles that the writers can bring to this new show. Would be nice to see most cast members of PB…

    Fox should do a new season of Prison Break or at least a new movie.
    We never saw Michael’s death or his dead body.
    Michael Scofield can return!!!

    sure heba ,I’m glad to hear this. ruby…I don’t know how to support but I am there! I was thinking of I am so sure that nick,paul, wentworth etc. they all have so many friends all over L.A.- why can’t someone put them on to this site ??!!!…maybe they will see how much we all love Prison-Break!!!..If I was living in America I would do my best to talk to those responsible. (in my country ,I will talk to the “leaders” about certain things. 90% of the time they say “Yes!! yes!!I will help you!!!” but then they forget you. cause I am not a “Rich Big Shot” …so I am not important to them, I have no value) but I have my dreams and I am trying to make them come through .you guys don’t ever let someone tell you otherwise. I am so proud to be here with you all on this site, to support the pb5. at least we can/will try!

  11. By heba

    Thanks hayden ..sure u r always my dear friend
    I’m with u guys in anything u do..just tell me what’s the plan..ok?

  12. By Ruby

    Okay lets get our heads together and figure a way of getting through to them. Or if that doesn’t work going straight to Olmstead and Santora and seeing if they can give the script to another network? THOUGHTS????

  13. By hayden

    Oh hi jody, I just now saw your comment.you are correct! they cant come close to PB!!! I really believe that!!!

  14. By hayden

    I wish there was a way to get through to fox!!!

  15. By Ruby

    This new spin off will no way be as good as the original PB. Maybe we should start a petition and send it to FOX – that way surely they would listen? NO?? What do you think. We need the original cast back in PB Season 5 ASAP!!!!

  16. By hayden

    You know that I AM AGREEING with your comment heba!!! I am always in support of these words!!!

  17. By heba

    If it’s another breaking out show it’d be so silly idea & it just proves that the writers want to take advantage of pb’s success.
    I know the show is over but still it’s not impossible to come back or at least as a spin off.They can do that & bring our pb team & my sweetheart Michael back.
    They brought back Sarah,Paul,The mother they can do it if they want especially we never saw Michael’s body not like Sarah when we saw her head..right?

    Haha @ hayden.
    I agree FOX is one of the worst networks on the air, always pulling good shows and putting on bad shows (and for some reason KEEPING bad shows >_>)

    And even though Prison Break ended the way it did, I think it was time to let it go. To go even farther, well it might just lose a bit of reputation, I mean, ANOTHER Prison to break out of? If not, something else, it wouldn’t really be “Prison” break at all.

    I really do miss the show, but we all have to accept it can’t come back.
    HOWEVER, they REALLY should pick back up on that SPIN-OFF they were doing.
    You NEVER know if Michael Scofield may just be a guest star :D

    Also this new show of theirs sounds really stupid no offense. Breaking Kings? ………It wont even come close to Prison Break.

    They really need to do a spin-off, I need more prison break thrills dammit, I want more COMPANY!!!!!!!!!

  19. By hayden

    sorry peter, I myself am not American, if I were I’d be at FOX very often, shooting them with heavy water pistols LOL .I also dont/cant agree with Peter. I agree with steph. I know Prison-Break could have ended a lot better.

  20. By maida

    i totally agree with you Steph
    why they do so?!!is it bec lack of ideas or they want to invest pb success !!!!
    i think it is better to make a new but different series to prove their creativity.
